(August P.O.V.)

"So, what's Braga about?" Brian asks.
"You know, he's just one of us. Came up from the streets. Down for el barrio. Now he's a shot caller. The boss of bosses. See all these cats in here? Anyone of them would die for Braga," Campos answers.
"Including you?" I ask.
"Especially me," Campos answers. One of his men comes up and whispers in his ear. The way he answered makes me think he maybe Braga. Like a double identity like I do. "Enjoy the party. Club's yours. Whatever you want, booze, broads, it's all good." Campos gets up and leaves. I look over at Dom and he nods. He is going to look for the owner of the green car and I'm following Campos.
"Braga's mine," Brian says getting up. I get up and walk into the crowd following Campos and Brian probably isn't too far behind me. I follow Campos to a crowded hallway with a door at the end. There are two big guys standing in front of the door. Campos turns around and looks behind him before he opens the door and enters. When Campos turned around I pushed the guy nearest me up against the wall and kissed him, to keep from being spotted. As I kissed the guy I felt butterflies and he kissed back.

(Brian P.O.V.)

Dom, August, and I are sitting and talking with Campos when one of his guys comes and whispers in his ear. Campos gets up and leaves. I see August looks over at Dom and he nods.
"Braga's mine," I say getting up. August gets up and heads in the direction Campos took off. I follow her. Campos leads us to a crowded hallway with a door at the end. I end up right beside August. Campos turns around and looks behind him before he opens the door and enters. When Campos had turned around, August pushes me up against the wall and starts kissing me. I kiss back to keep from blowing our cover. I have a feeling that August doesn't know that it is me that she is kissing.

(August P.O.V.)

I kiss the guy for a few more seconds before breaking apart and looking to see who I was kissing. I look to see that it was Brian that I kissed. This is not good. We both look towards the door to see it close and the guards walk off with some girls. Brian and I look back at each other before he smiles and grabs my hand. He takes off towards the door dragging me behind him.

(Brian P.O.V.)

We break apart and August looks at me. Pure shock and embarrassment wash over her face as she realizes that it was me that she was kissing. It felt nice to kiss her again. We both look towards the door to see it close and the guards walk off with some girls. August and I look back at each other before I smile and grab her hand. I take off towards the door dragging August behind me.

(Dom P.O.V.)

I take an elevator down to the garage and find the green Torino that I have been looking for. Somebody else walks into that garage.
"Something interests you about this car?" The lady that works for Campos asks.
"Just admiring the bodywork," I answer.
"Are you one of those boys who prefer cars to women?" She asks.
"I'm one of those boys that appreciates a fine body, regardless of the make. Your car?" I say.
"It's Fenix's car. You'll meet him at the rendezvous. He'll be leading you," She answers. "So now that I know your taste in cars, tell me, what about your women?"
"It all starts with the eyes. She's got to have those kind of eyes that can look right through the bullshit to the good in someone. 20% Angel, 80% Devil. Down to earth. Ain't afraid to get a little engine grease under her fingernails," I explain.
"That doesn't sound anything like me," she says.
"It ain't," I say and she leaves. I decide to leave.

(August P.O.V.)

Once we enter through the door Brian lets go of my hand. We start to walk up some stairs and Brian gets his handgun out. We come to a door that's cracked open. We peek inside. Campos is in there with another guy, but I can't see his face. They take shots and cheer. Then they go to get up. Brian and I walk down the hallway and hide around the corner. Campos and the other guy who I guess is Braga walks out of the room. I still can't get a look at Braga's face. They leave. Brian and I get out of our hiding spot. Brian and I enter the room to see if we can't find anything. I don't see anything and go to leave. As I'm leaving I notice that Brian picks up the shot glasses.

(Brian P.O.V.)

I head into the office to give Trinh the shot glasses.
"Hi," I say.
"Hi," Trinh says.
"I got a gift for you," I say handing Trinh the shot glasses.
"A dirty shot glass, just what I always wanted," Trinh retorts.
"I got these from the club last night. There are two sets of prints here. Run them both. I know one of these is Campos'. I think the other might be Braga's. And you're gonna have to go beyond Interpol," I explain.
"So, that means I have to contact individual agencies, and that could take weeks," Trinh says.
"Do what you can," I say and the GPS beeps. I leave to follow the instructions of the GPS.

(August P.O.V.)

The GPS goes off and I follow the instructions to an abandoned warehouse. Dom pulls in right before I do. After a while, Brian shows up. He is the last driver. They check the cars for trackers. As they check my car I look over at Brian and see him trying to hide that he is struggling. They head over to his car and by the time they get there he stops struggling. They walk away from his car and he looks relieved. They load us all into the back of a big truck and they take off. Dom and I are on the bottom and are facing each other. I get out of my car and go talk to Dom. Then two guys who seem to be friends climb down and start complaining.
"This ain't right, bro. Nobody said nothing about being locked in no truck," One of them complains.
"Tell me about it," The other agrees.
"Hey. Hey! Yo!" The first guy says getting mine and Dom's attention. "Where do you think they're taking us?"
"Don't matter," I answer walking back to my car.
"We're all just along for the ride now," Dom says. We ride in the truck for a few more hours before it pulls to a stop. We all unload. Dom is on one side of me and Brian is on the other.
"Welcome to Mexico, boys, and lady. There are helicopters and surveillance cameras that scan heat signatures at the border. But there are blind spots that I can guide you through via satellite. There can be no margin of error, so you must follow my every direction. Any questions?" Gisele explains as men load our cars with boxes.
"I thought Fenix was gonna be here," Dom says.
"He'll meet you out there. All right, everybody, sync up. Good luck, everybody," Gisele says. We all head out. I'm in the front. Dom is behind me and Brian is behind him with the other drivers behind him. "Satellite linkup engaged. Keep proceeding northbound at current speed," Gisele's voice says over the radio. All of a sudden there is another car in front of me. "Stay close to Fenix. He'll lead you across. Hurry it up. You all have been tagged." Dom pulls out of behind me and starts speeding up. I slow down a little to put some room in between me and Fenix for Dom to slide in. "Toretto, get back in formation." We head inside a secret passageway under the cliffs. "They're sending a helicopter. You have 30 seconds." We all speed up following Fenix through the many passageways. "The window is closing fast. You need to get out of there before they send ground support. Fifteen seconds. You're running out of time. You need to get out now!" A few seconds later we exit the cliffs. We follow Fenix to a little valley where there are two trucks waiting.
"Sloppy! Very sloppy!" Fenix yells as he gets out of his car. Men start getting us out of our cars and unloading the boxes. Dom doesn't get out of his car right away. We planned if things looked like they were going bad that he would unscrew his NOS bottles and click the lighter in the car. Well, that what he was doing. He gets out of his car and we all gather around. Dom and Brian are on either side of me. One of the other drivers starts complaining as one of the men lead him towards us. Fenix gets his gun out and heads towards him.
"Hey, boss man!" Dom yells at Fenix.
"What did you say?" Fenix asks turning towards him.
"I said only pussies run nitro meth," Dom answers.
"You looked under my hood? I'm talking to you. Got something on your mind?" Fenix asks as Dom doesn't answer.
"'70 Plymouth," Dom says.
"Her name was Letty," I add.
"And somebody wrecked her car," Dom finishes.
"I wrecked her car," Fenix says. "You remember her face? Huh? Cause I don't. Last time I saw it, it was burning." I go to step forward and hit him, but Brian grabs my shoulders pulling me back to him. "Now what?"
